PORTFOLIO

Here is a selection of my finished projects. Click on the image to see it in a larger resolution. Below, I explain my workflow process which includes challenges I encountered. Also, If applicable, I also included sketches of my brainstorming process.

Adobe Photoshop

Movie poster project. Layout of a moon reflecting light off a castle, with two large faces centered in the middle. Shadow of a girl holding a glowing orb.

Rough sketch on paper of the placement of the people in the movie poster.

Two vertically side by side pictures of a group of raspberry ice cream bars against a marble surface. The top picture is labeled original and the bottom is labeled altered. The altered version has subtle differences such as some raspberries are missing, in comparison to the top picture.

Creative Project in Photoshop with Sketch

For this project the design goal was to create a movie poster in the fantasy/magic genre, using all images from Unsplash.com. I viewed various movie posters for research and to get an idea of a general movie poster layout or theme I should try to follow.

I came up with a quick sketch of a general idea of what subjects I was looking for, and what placement they should be.

The challenges encountered was editing the default color settings of each individual stock image to blend with the overall color theme. The overall colors used are cooler tones, which made the poster seem very cold and uninviting, so I used the rounded brush tool with a light opacity to create a yellow glow on the globe, moon, and in the subject's faces.

Cloning Project in Photoshop

This assignment required taking a photo from Unsplash and using the clone tool to subtly remove details from the original photo. The challenges encountered were keeping track of the cloning edits made.

Adobe Illustrator

Isometric three dimensional square layout floating above another square. The top square has a castle like gate with bricks, a pond with a waterfall streaming.

Pattern of a pink ice cream bar with a brown ice cream bar.

Isometric Layout

My goal was to create a draft of an isometric landscape. Using a tutorial from Cody Walker, I created a grid and began to construct 3D shapes. I used circles with a gradient to give the effect of 3D spheres.

Challenges for this layout were creating shapes where I could not rely on the grid as a ruler, such as circles. Other difficulties were matching the angle or skew of objects to look consistent with the angle of the layout. I would also have to create separate grids to be able to estimate where certain details would go. Overall, I feel this project is not complete and could use a few more details.

Ice Cream Pattern

The assignment was to make a pattern with a vector drawing in illustrator. I chose to create a pattern of ice cream bars and give the vector illustration a big of depth with a gradient and a shadow.

Challenges for this pattern were scaling the pattern to an appropriate size. I also think the light source may not make sense, as the lighter colors are coming from above, and the shadows should be the opposite direction.

I also think the shadows may not be necessary as it breaks apart the negative space in the pattern, and I think the negative space ties the ice cream bars together.

Digital Painting

These are commissions I have completed. I am in the process of improving my painting techniques and finding a style. My paintings take roughly around 3 to 6 hours or three days to complete, depending on its details. Some full-sized versions are not available to protect against copyright issues.
